RAID 0 allows you to work with 1080i / 60 HD playbacks via the same RAID modes. You can further increase the G-Speed RAID arrays with a maximum of four enclosures in the RAID controller, enabling support of up to 32TB of storage capacity and data transfer speeds of up to 600 MB per second.

The 4TB G-Speed-eS drive is enclosed in an aluminum desktop enclosure with 4 lockable SATA II drive modules that can provide a maximum cache of 32MB. The disk drive and the fan modules are also upgradeable and hot-swappable so you can enhance your hardware when you need to.

G-Tech 4-Port, PCIe x4 RAID ControllerMultiple RAID Levels & JBODWhen used with the G-Tech RAID controller, G-SPEED eS can easily be configured as a RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or as a JBOD. This flexibility enables the system to be tuned to the required level of performance and fault-tolerance necessary to support your application. G-SPEED eS can also be set up as a software RAID or JBOD when used with third party port multiplier aware eSATA host adapters.

G-SPEED eS RAID Controller Breaks the 2TB Disk Capacity Limit on Windows XP!Windows 2000 / XP are 32 bit operating systems with a built-in limitation that logical disks cannot be greater than 2TB (2048GB). The G-SPEED eS RAID Controller breaks this barrier with a new technology, Variable Sector Size (VSS). VSS increases the sector size presented to the operating system making it possible to now have logical disks of up to 16TB! No more breaking large disk volumes into multiple 2TB volumes!

Industry Leading Playback Performance When used with the G-Tech PCIe RAID controller, a single 4-drive G-SPEED eS unit supports multi-stream DV, HDV, DVCPRO HD, ProRes 422 & uncompressed SD playback in RAID 0 or RAID 5 mode and single-stream 8-bit, 1080/60i HD playback in RAID 0 mode. Two G-SPEED eS units and the G-Tech PCIe RAID controller support all of the above plus 10-bit, 1080i/60 HD playback in RAID 0 or RAID 5 mode. As many as four G-SPEED eS enclosures can be attached to the G-Tech RAID controller to support up to 32TB storage with speeds in excess of 600MB/sec!

Compact Desktop EnclosureG-SPEED eS features a compact aluminum desktop enclosure with 4 lockable SATA II drive modules, each with up to 32 MB of cache.
